Consumer’s Tool Kit for Health Care Advance Planning

The American Bar Association’s Consumer’s Tool Kit for Health Care Advance Planning is a collection of worksheets and suggestions for end of life planning.

There are 10 tools including advice on selecting a health care proxy and a worksheet about end of life priorities and more.

I often say that planning is key to handling aging and end of life decisions, but sometimes “planning” can be nebulous. Where do you begin? What does it really mean?

These tools are simple, but they really make you think and are a good starting point for conversation.
